![]() There was Brexit, the election of conservative governors in the four swing states in the Rust Belt, and a smug Hillary Clinton raising her arms on a convention stage and declaring to a nation of opiate-addled, distracted Americans in the withdrawal stages of late Capitalism that, America has never stopped being great. But for me, the clearest indication, the first canary in the coal mine, is this list Ive compiled of the most important rapper of each calendar year dating back to 2010. Ross emerged at a fraught moment, as what many old school alarmists considered a battle for our souls was being waged everyday in the streets, on the radio, on blogs and message boards. He was another voice in a chorus of deleterious mediocrity, a paper kingpin with faux Miami Vice swag that no one really subscribed to. Freeway Rick Ross is an actual drug kingpin, who was amidst an ultimately reduced life sentence in prison when the rapper who took his name gained prominence with his breakout Def Jam single, 2006s Hustlin. The real Rick Ross attempted to sue him twice for ten million dollars beginning in 2010. While this act of borrowed christening has been common throughout the history of hip hop (Ross foil and would be destroyer stole his moniker from a Brooklyn stick up kid and theres another rapper named Freeway), with Ross it feels particularly pertinent. Hes a rapper whose identity has been a constant point of contention. Its difficult to discuss Rick Ross without considering who he is and what he means to the culture. ![]() The self-professed, exorbitantly wealthy drug lord had been making less than 40k a year as a cut rate cop a decade prior. Ja Rules career was killed by 50 Cent because his street credentials paled in comparison. Ghetto Quran. Ja, who still probably is attached to more bodies and dirty money than 50 ever will be, was exposed, pretty much fairly, for making corny music and being a douche. But when you consider what these altercations said about us as people, it emphasized this old, supremely stupid rubric grading the perceived authenticity of the artist that goes back to the late 80s. But instead they engaged in a long, childish, offensive feud that is still going on. Both sides have declared victory multiple times, and few people have ever cared about the beef. It was effectively ended in 2009 with the release of Deeper Than Rap, then definitively ended in 2010 with Teflon Don, two number one albums that succeeded improbably in the face of the revelations. The ascendance of Ross in the wake of the CO scandal could be seen as the flash point for hip hop; when we officially cut the cord with the old reality of authenticity and traditional masculinity. What happened was relatively simple and incredibly complex: Ross dropped the pretense, and so did we. While its good we no longer evaluate our rap music based on rap sheets, in the exchange the very essential sense of personhood has largely been severed from the artist. I know Jay-Z is from Marcy Projects, it informs his music and the way I think about his music in relation to Shawn Carter the artist and human being who makes music, and whom I read countless Source features on as a kid. Ross didnt have that same bond with his audience, the same familial relationship, and he didnt need it.
